Post by: berni29 on Monday,April 08, 2024, 10:34:37 AM
Hi

This looks like an interesting car......

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335338833303?itmmeta=01HTZ7N69P2R6VKK6V09CN62AY&hash=item4e13c08597:g:KPgAAOSwWbVmE-x~&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwKclcMG3kZW%2F9iXRCd5U2q%2F6ZY8dvYugSZd8YsVXG6qjh1izPrfZGJoxSHro6kHpa345qQtacTrL8yX66N1b%2BzUGi2BA6IHbEW1Jxz%2FBbZ2LbEoZ%2Ff4z1672Sn8%2BaxdPQuFTMpBYI4kj0%2BUj%2BdUJ3r8kheFYFVg7t6lGTlGdBLkg1xAyDScuf8xSsx%2BMGNll%2BzOY0e8jQXe3yZh%2Fu0txOLy4YLtehRbeqU0K6GW3%2F5GlxqA%2FiBvQ69LPfKoE4YQcWQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_Lk1OfXYw

All the best

Very cool. Do you think the windows go down?

Seems extremely under priced for a UK car and considering the condition. Doors are S1 and windows will not go down They are hinged at the front and will pop out a little, a few inches, maybe).

A bit Heinz 57 Varieties.

Very non-standard.

I wonder how road friendly the car is after all those modifications.

It's an ad for their upcoming auction:

THIS VEHICLE IS TO BE SOLD AT OUR SPRING CLASSIC AUCTION 25/04/2024 @ 10:00am.

THE PRICE LISTED IS THE LOWER END OF OUR ESTIMATED SALE.

Yep, like Roddy says, it's an advert for their auction site and not a classified ad as is stated at the start. I was also taken with £11k and wondering where I could fit it in !

All credit to the owner though, 91yrs old and only now considering selling....  hope I'm the same at that age.

$14,000 US. That is cheap for how nice it is. It would be bought quick in the US.

Looks like the "seller" is a big, multi-make commercial auction house a la COPART in the US: https://www.facebook.com/SouthWesternVehicleAuctions/ 

Will be interesting to see what it brings on the 25th. Especially with the all the added features such as Central Locking, ABS, Power Steering, ESP, etc. :)

So no steering wheel, you just think it to go around corners?

No way it has ABS. I'm researching a MK60 unit for mine. It's far from bolt in and most don't drive hard enough to need it. The car show crowd is safe!
